Now that I completed the maintenance items, here is some relevant information in case it is useful to other folks.

Replacing spark plugs: this was quite straight-forward.

Replacing fuel filter: the instructions in the Haynes book are right on. In my case there was a lot of undercoating so it was a bit sticky and messy working the filter out.

Replacing air filter: straight-forward.

Replacing pollen filter: straight-forward.

Replacing brake fluid: in the case of my V70 T5, the bleeding nuts on the back are 9mm and the front ones are 11mm.

Replacing coolant: again, the instructions in the Haynes book are just right on. I didn't have trouble finding the cylinder block drain tap. However, the amount of coolant came out of this drain tap was very small; if it were difficult to find and loosen, it probably wouldn't have been worth it.

Again, thanks for the replies to my original post. I wouldn't have had all the needed tools without the additional information.
